Charlie Hebdo to keep publishing

Satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo is planning to publish 1 million copies of its next issue in response to the attack on its offices Wednesday, which left 12 dead.

According to Le Monde, Charlie Hebdo’s lawyer, Richard Malka, said a million copies of the next edition of the magazine will be published next week. French media organizations have teamed up, releasing a joint statement saying they were offering assistance in the form of equipment and staff to help publish the magazine.

Charlie Hebdo columnist Patrick Pelloux said in an interview with iTele that the magazine staff were actually having a meeting about combating racism as the attack occurred.

"They were extraordinary men and women," Pelloux said, according to The Independent. "They were killed during a meeting discussing a conference on the fight against racism. Voilà."
